Yes, but... The real answer is that everybody should have been using UTF-8 for the past 40 years or so. ;) Seriously. We have non-UTF-8 locales. We might be able to EOF some of them (e.g., all the ISO-8859 locales), but not all of them, and we can't actually remove any of them any time soon. So non-UTF-8 locales are here for the forseeable future and we have to deal.
